just buy a quality filter and take the bottom off your intake and use another method to keep the filter secure.

probably 5whp or less.. but thats not bad for $5. if you really want to get an extra pony or two i would heat wrap the entire stock plastic intake tube, then do the ABM.

i doubt that would do alot to be honest.
the intake doesnt even get warm on hard runs.

not to mention heatwrapping that entire thing would be quite expensive.

That's what I did; 14" zip ties FTW! No one can see it unless the car's on a lift anyway.

I freaking LOVE the sound, but I believe I also saw decent gains at the track (in trap speed), though since I didn't run both setups the same night, I pretty much won't have any credibility if I state my gains. I'd do it and save the rest of the cash for something else!

Edit - My car was a Stage 2 when I did this mod.

This was the first thing I did to my car. I dropped a solid .3 in the quarter. Similar weather conditions on both nights.

.3 in the 1/4 mile?
I'm sorry but that is extreamly hard to believe. Maybe you just drove a lot better when you went back to the track..

yeah im sorry, but maybe 5 horsepower will not drop you .3 in the quarter mile. How can you even compare any two single runs? so many factors go into your track times

.3 seconds would probably be around stock vs. stage 2
